yes, those are most likely bots
no, there's no way to prevent this, unless you stop trading (most of those accounts tend to add you if you bump a thread on a trading site) and don't accept random friend requests
make sure to report them to Valve, using the report function on their Steam profile

But I don't trade...
I've only traded like 3 or 4 times during summer sale, cards for cards.
And, alright, I'll report them. Thanks.

Never had one, so it has to be related to a website you visit.
Like Dopefish said, they often come from trading forums (TF2 Outpost, for example). But in your case, if as you claim, you never trade... Then I have no idea why.

It's getting ridiculous...
I've blocked 5 people on Steam today, of which 3 had the Joker from Batman as their avatar.
They all came with that lame story of "Hey my friend wants to trade with you but his list is full, so click here <insert scam site> to trade him."
I'm not even a trader!
What the hell are these? Bots?
Is there a way to prevent this crap? :T
Thanks in advance!
